The Abu Dhabi-based International Astronomical Center (IAC) expects the Chinese space rocket to hurtle back to Earth Sunday, with a margin of error of 21 hours.

On Twitter, 'The Aerospace Corporation' confirmed IAC's predictions, writing "Our latest prediction for CZ-5B rocket body reentry is: 09 May 2021 02:34 UTC ± 21 hours."

They added it is still too early to determine an accurate debris footprint.

The director of the IAC, Jordanian engineer Muhammad Odeh, said in press statements that contrary to belief, falling sattelites and rockets are a regular occurence which happens almost on a weekly basis.

However, what distinguishes this fall is that it is a larger object than usually seen, said Odeh.

The rocket takes a full round around the Earth every 90 minutes, meaning that it will appear in a completely new location every minute a person tries to track it, according to AlHurra TV Channel.

April 28, China was in hot water after a rocket used to launch a satellite spiralled around Earth. The rocket, is 30 metres long and weighs 21-tons and will be the largest to ever have an "uncontrolled re-entry" into Earth.

China launched it to carry the first unit of a new space station that Beijing is building in space.
Earlier Thursday, Astronomer Imad Mujahid expected that the Chinese rocket would cross Jordanian skies from Egypt at around 12:05am Friday.
